    Richard Pryor - His stuff was funny in the day
    George Carlin - My favorite comedian
    John Cleese - Monty Python, 'nuff said.
    Steve Martin - Funny as hell, in small doses.
    Chris Rock - Good stuff.

    I don't really have opinions on the rest.

    Over There ---->
    Richard Pryor - the father of black comedy... he spawed the Chris Tucker's and Chris Rock's

    George Carlin - underappreciated talent... even better live... catch him if you get the chance...

    John Cleese - funny when in the right role...

    Bill Hicks - who?

    Eddie Murphy - better now than he was 15 years ago

    Bill Murray - gotten old... seems to have dipped off... he's at his best when he's got that stupid look on his face

    Robin Williams - very VERY talented... has multiple levels while acting... can be serious but always finds a way to make you laugh

    Steve Martin - one trick pony... but put in the right place is still entertaining

    Jim Carrey - better when he sticks to his roots... he got away for a while and his movies suffered... seems to be in the right direction with the new "Bruce Almighty" movie

    Mike Myers - he's unbelieveably talented, but most people lock him into an Austin Powers mold... he was one of SNL's better all time

    Chris Rock - ok but Chris Tucker took the same gimmick and made it better

    Bill Hicks died I believe in 1989 of cancer at age 39 (I think) one of the single funniest stand-ups I have ever seen.
